EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Page from the "Catalogue of Materials for House Painting & Glazing," c.1893 This image showcases a single page from an intricately illustrated Victorian-era catalogue, published by Jas. Nicholson & Co. in London and printed by Henry Drake & Co. in 1893. The page, filled with rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the world of house painting and glazing during this time. The page is dominated by a large, vertical image of a window, with people in the background applying paint and glazing to the glass. The window features a brown wooden frame, and the glass itself is adorned with a blue geometric pattern, creating a striking contrast against the white background. The text surrounding the image lists various paint colors and their corresponding names, such as "Prussian Blue," "Indian Red," and "Chinese Vermilion." The catalogue page, with its combination of text and illustration, serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the production of materials for home improvement during the 19th century. The use of paper and ink to create this printed matter highlights the importance of trade catalogues as a means of showcasing and advertising products to potential customers. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, where artisans and craftsmen took pride in their work and the beauty of a well-painted and glazed window was a source of pride for homeowners. This page from the "Catalogue of Materials for House Painting & Glazing" stands as a reminder of the importance of both form and function in the world of home improvement, and the role that trade catalogues played in documenting and disseminating this knowledge.
